Fancy LEDs HDMI 2.1 sync box review. Best gaming experience!

Ойындар

This TV backlight sync box is for the gamers! Here is my review of the Fancy LEDs HDMI 2.1 TV backlight sync box.
Not only does this RGB lighting kit react to your content but it also runs at 4k@120hz meaning you won’t need to compromise on gaming performance!
In this video I take a look what you get, how to set it up, plus all the features you need to know about!
Special thanks to my boys for helping me out with the Fortnite gameplay!!
Big thanks also to Fancy LEDs for sending the kit out for me to review. As stated in my review, thoughts are my own. No direction was received from the manufacturer.
Thanks for watching! Any support for the channel is massively appreciated. So if you haven’t already, please SUBSCRIBE ✅ and give the video a LIKE 👍 if you enjoyed it or found it helpful.

    Great review. How does it know where the corners of the TV are so that it matches what's on the screen? Like a 60 inch tv would have different length to a corner than a 80 inch tv.

  • @arcadespawn

    @arcadespawn

    4 ай бұрын

    Thanks!! My total guess would be that it works out the length based on where the LED terminates and then matches up to the aspect ratio of the display.

    Hi and thanks for that great review! I've got a question: I watch lots of contents with subtitles, and I wonder how it behaves in those conditions, particularly in widescreen/letterbox with subtitles in the black bar at the bottom of the screen... Does it flash white light underneath the TV when the subtitles pop? Thanks in advance!

  • @arcadespawn

    I checked on a few things but on all of them the subtitles overlapped the film and the black letterbox. In this scenario it didn’t make the lights react. Might be different if the subtitle is much lower.

    Hi, the diffusion speed changes the effect so much it's tricky to comment on lag. I suspect it's one of those cases when you have to try for yourself to see if it's right for you.

    Hi! It needs an hdmi device but doesn’t have to be a console. Devices like Apple TV or Fire Stick will work also. There’s a compatibility section against each product on their website if you want to be sure.

    Still very cool but if you’re not gaming then the HDMI 2.0 version might be better value if it’s cheaper. So long as you’re watching from a device that connects via hdmi.

    Probably not but you’re not getting the most of the box. There’s an hdmi 2.0 version which might be a better option depending on whether you’d be likely to upgrade to hdmi 2.1 in the near future.
